A VISION OF THE STREET.

| saw maiden OH the street,
SO blessed with graces rare and sweet
From well-poised head to dainty feet,
wondered as she tripped along
Among the city's common throng
If to the earth she could belong.
With all the graces heaven could lend her,
Hebe form-not quite so slender
Great fawn-like eyes, brown. timid. tender.
But alb, her cheeks. No deep sea shell,
No blossom plucked in shadiest dell
Was ever tinted half SO well.
Her hair-'twas worthy Shakespeares son
net
Dark brown, it peeped from meath her bon
net,
And gold, as though the sun glanced on it;
And what behind so glossy grew
She's made a Grecian knot into
And thrust silver dagger through.
followed her with anxious care,
Still fearful that such vision rare
Might vanish into viewless air.
No grounds were left for fear like that
window long she fingered at
And chose WondrouS winter hat.
4 creature of this world of sin;
Less fair an angel would have been
Angels are chilly things, and thin.
But of such mold exquisite she,
All women since. though fair they be,
Seem poor and commonplace to me.

If this thing keeps on the pocketbook
will grow in another year long enough
to be used as walking stick. They are
now as big as policeman's club, and
are growing at marvellous rate. They
beat the growing of the smelling-salt
bottle. If man was struck over the
head with the present fashionable lady's
pocketbook, loaded with silver dollars,
he would not see any stars. but crepe
would very likely hang from his door
bell. A loaded pOcketbook of this kind
in the hands of an Infatuated woman
would be just as effective over mans
head as a sling-shOt. The male popula-
ton of Albany are wondering where the
evolution of these pocketboOks is going
to stop.

Handkerchief Pillow Slips---New
Baby Baskets---HOme-M To-
boggan Caps.
ExquiSitely fine pillow cases for a
baby's carriage pillow are made out of
two fine hem-stitched handkerchiefs,
Joined together and edged with Valen-
ciennes lace. If they are found too
small, they may be made larger by an
insertion of lace or fine embroidery,
sewed by hand to the hens. Such a
pillow slip should be put over one of
blue, or pink, or white, made of thick
SileSia, to hide the bars of the pillow
ticking.
The newest baby baskets are made
without a standard. and are the same
shade as those used in the florists,
rather oblOng and fiat, turned up at two
corners, and having a handle. The
trimming consists of mat edged with
lace and supplied with two little pin
cushions and two pockets. These are
simply tackled in, and can be removed
easily. The mat requires very little
fitting. White dotted swiss and null
are the most Serviceable materials, as
they can be Numbered. The lining of
all the articles should be of silesia,
with satin for the little bows.
Little cloth tObOggan caps are easily
made and, if the cloth is soft and bright.
as pretty as those of worsted. Measure
for the length the distance around the
head the cap is to fit, from the top of
the brow over the ears TO the nape of
the neck and back again; and for the
width from the nape of the neck over
the crown of the head to the center of
the forehead, adding three inches to
give the needed fullness. Hem one
length side, then with strong needle
and thread gather the two sides and

WAX HEADS MADE AT HOME.
A New Pastime Which Affords
Present Pleasure and Future
Profit

Profit,
One of the most interesting of the so
called ''pastimes," which have of late
been introduced in the home circle
under the name of art is that of model
ling in wax. 1t is not only interesting
and amusing, it is instructive. Accord
ing to American Art pound of wax
will keep large family quiet and busy
for whole evening, and aside from the
often curious results of the two or three
hours work there has been gained an
idea of anatomy which the workers
were quite unaware of. 1t is easier to
model head, such as it is, in wax than
to make the drawing; the light and shade
is made with every pressure and there
is nothing fiat. so that 1t is more
prolific medium than charcoal and pa
per. At first the amateur produces a
rather archaic object, but during the
evening. after he has had little facil-
ity added to his hand, he will discover
that he has been more of an observer
than he was conscious Of. He will also
glance up from his work and look at
some member of the family to locate
the ear or eye or chin, and so by degrees
he constructs really good head, and i'll
a weeks time is able to obtain a like
ness of some member of the family.
So, little by little, the arts are creep
ing into shop and home. 1t is by this
medium we shall be able to add more
interest to the higher and more COM
plete ats, and the observer who has
handled the wax at home will be better
able to pass Judgment on piece OF
sculpture than he was before his ''paS-
time" trials at modelling.

AS to Women's Clubs.

New Orleans Picayune.
1t looks very much as If the day would
come when all the dOings of woman
kind, all their charities would be con-
Quoted in a club. Nowadays young
ladies do not think they can read poet
ry, practice music, study art, visit the
sick, give charity to the poor, except by
organizing themselves into clubs. 1t
can almost be said that lovely woman is
a club. A lot of lazy young ladies have
copied an English fashion and have
Joined an Early Rising society, pledg-
ing themselves to abstain from lying in
bed later than o'clock, and to perform
certain commendable duties before
breakfast. A society that will trundle
a healthy young women out of bed
early i'll the morning, and have her to
make up pan of rolls or an Omelet for
the family breakfast table is worth
twenty societies for the study of Brown
ing, and should be encouraged heartily.

upper length into close rosette and
fasten well. Add row of ribbon or
three chenille or worsted balls to hide
the gathers, and the cap is finished.
To make the worsted bail. take bit
of cardboard three inches wide and wind
about it double zephyr worsted 100
times, slip off the cardboard and tie
tightly all the strands together in the
center. then clip the outer edges and
the wOrsted will spring into ball shape.
Trim neatly all the rough edges. These
may be mounted on wire by catching
the ball with it in the center before cut
ting the ends.
The newest bibs for children to wear
at table are made out of cheesecloth,
doubled and sewn into piece twenty
four inches long and eighteen inches
wide. A hole is cut in the center to
slip over the head and bright linen
cat-Stitching finishes the edge. These
are easily washed, require no ironing,
and are very cheap.

A Fashionable Freak.


A yellow wedding is one of the latest
freaks. The bridesmaids are in yellow,
the decorations yellow, the laces yellow,
the flowers yellow; everything, in short,
but the bride, who is, of course, all
white, wears that jaundiced hue. The
effect is somewhat trying and more sug-
geStiye of a rousing bilious attack than
the gentle, amorOuS scene fashionable
marriage ceremony seeks to be. How
ever, anything for change.

To say yes" let the right glove fall

To show indifference turn down half

''FOllOw me-" is communicated by
striking the left arm with both gloves

indicated by pretending to tie both
gloves together.
If lady or gentleman desires to
know whether their love is reciprOcated
it is only necessary to put on half the
glove of the left hand.
"Take care is said by delicately
turning the fingers of the glove round
the thumb.
Silence, the most complete and abso-
lutte, is commanded by crossing both
gloves OH table chair, or the lap. The
gloves rolled in shape of ball and held

The first finger of the right glove

The fingers of the left hand denote

Laces Made From Steel.

Experts say that curtains and fine
laces can be made of malleable iron or
steel. At the centennial exhibition a
piece of steel rolled by mill in Pitts
burg was so thin that it weighed less
than a book leaf and could be blown off
the hand easier than paper the same
size. The sheets for steel lace will be
rolled down to a low gage and the pat
terms pressed into them. The lace can
be made light or heavy, and is suitable
for ladies' and children'S underwear.
and perhaps for trimming hats, wraps
and dresses.

Loose Gloves En- RegIe.

1t is no longer fashionable to wear

day demand that the real shape of the
hand be shown, and not squeezed into a
round club with tight gloves. There
fore the first button must close at the
wrist and not at the thumb, and the
hand, when glOyed, widens perceptibly
from the wrist.
